As great moral agent woman is q yard
wide and all wool, but as book agent she
cuts a swath mile wide and never misses
a victim. We would much rather have q
friend pour pitcher Of common molasses
down our back than to be interviewed by a
lady book agent whose mouth resembles
a crack in a lemon and whose nose looks
like an exclamation point in awhirlwind.

CARDINAL GIBBONS has received his red
hat, and when the ring is conferred he will
be "prince or the church," invested with
all the dignity and power eapveyed by that
title. It was never conferred upon one
.mofe worthy, for the cardinal is "meek
and lowly" follower of his Master, and all
the pomps and dignities of church or state
will not affect or change him.

Durham, the District commissioners can
Immediately advertise for and let contracts,
the work to begin on the lst Of July, for the
improvement Of all the streets included by
Congress in the District appropriation bill.
There should be no unnecessary delay by
which the street improvements will not be
completed until late in the fall. The work

mother OF states and statesmen. II this
plea had been specific in stating that the
poverty complained Of was in Democratic

to be accepted as true, and might be taken
as plea in the nature Of confession and

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From omreRar roriesppudeni.l
WASHINGTON, May 20th. 1881.
The country youth or maiden
who reads Of the happy lot of
the Government clerk here, with
his salary of from $l2O0 to $500
per year, with his abundant
leisure, and with the great advan-
tages, social, literary, and spec
tacular, which lie at the Capital
affords, is filed with longing. II
the country youth and maiden
are not angels, they may even be-
filed with envy. The enchant-
ment which distance lends to
alleged happy lots is often pro
vocatiyo Of envy. Perhaps the
only happy lot is the little one Of
six by three feet upon which
daisies cluster, butin which there
is encllantment only for those
who have seen irdescent bubbles
Of life burst at the touch, lnclud-
ing even the bubble Of a govern
ment position. But this is a
digression from the strait and
narrow path Of a Washington cor
respondent
Your correspondent wishes to
explain that he was not discharg-
ed, he resigned and retired into
the business Of journalism, and
look back on my experience as a
Government clerk without envy
or longing. But to the average
ex-clerk the retrospect IS much
less enViable now, than it was
then in 1873, Perhaps the great
est i'll and terror of youth Is The
school examination. OH dosl
thou remember? Think of q
life Of protracted school exam
inationsl Such IS TO be the fiji
ture life of the Government clerk
lie may no longer drive his per
in peace, or furtively read hi'
newspaper. President CLEVELAND
has decreed that he shall stand al
examination for promoti tiop
whether he wants promotion o.
not, and that if he fails to reacl
an average Of rs per cent, b
must step down aud out. Saints

CONE ROAM MrA ME AGAIN.
BY JULIA G. coNEY.

For the MAGNOLIA GAZETTE.
Come where bloom the newborn roses
Amid iair woodland bowers;
While Spring-dew 'pon them reposes,
The brshing modest flowers.
OH Come to your leafy brake;
Adown where the Yiolets droop:
Mid lilies wide awake
Where puss and the blue bells stoop.
Here's a shepherds purse, bright of hue,
Fox-gloves and fairy hand shoes,
Wake robin, with pockets of money tool
Mayhap this gold OF pleasure is news.
Oh! Come to your virgins bowers.
I'll show you the travellersjoY,
The mystery of the flowers,
And sweets without alloy.
Here are pansies, trimmed with lace,
Kit run about, or three faces urder hood
But, Millions pansies heie place,
Not as he, on LJ cidias tsmb, in different
mood.
Come wander our verdant banks along
Beside our lads of love, rosemary. and rue,
Sounding fairy trumpets, the hills amoug,
Many sweet flowers Of the brightost hue,
We love these darlings Of the earrh and sky
Bejewelling tho brink Of the rill
Miinosas aud cuck-coo. buds, are nigh,
Goldilocks, and snow under the hill,
Curds and cream sweeter than Juno's eyelids
Cuck-coos stockings, sweeter than Cyther
cas- breath
Love in tange which e'en now bids
Me mind the shepherds clock, upon the
heath,
And Jack behind the garden gate.
With butter and eggs aud soppes in wine
So Rover dear 1t is growing late;
So saith truly the shepherds time,
